3.27.19 NOTES:

Offensive 3 seconds: Holding the ball for more than 3 seconds when closely guarded/marked and the defense has both hands on her stick and is in position to legally check were checking allowed (i.e. modified or full checking rules) results in a change of possession.

3 Pass Rule: The pass count resets with the change of possession, including when the goalie makes a save and retains control of the ball. Umpires are responsible for counting passes.
